My Dollhouse Project

Every Christmas, we light up the table with several of my collections: musical and animated carousels. Since last year it's become the job of my little ones. On the table, it's my dollhouse project: a French backery store, a tea salon and a tea shop. As you can see, the ceiling and shop shelves are not glued. The project is uncompleted yet but on going step by step with my bare time. I have been working on these room boxes little by little since the year that sencond kid was born. It is just like a lighthouse, guiding me during the years as I could not work on miniatures as I wanted. I show it to you today, just by the end of 2019. Wishing every day of the new year to be filled with success, happiness and prosperity for you. Happy New Year's Eve and 2020!

Garden lamps, a lantern and terrace terminals are on!

Un jour avant le réveillon!
Une paire de lampadaires, une lanterne, une paire de bornes sont allumées.

Que la joie soit complète en cette heureuse Saison des Fêtes

Wishing you a sliver Merry Christmas

((((Hello my dear friends))))

Have great time and good food with all the family
and… may all your wishes come true!!! :-)

Little Gingerbread Houses

Obviously I did not work on sweets and pastries for a long time because I set up the goal and focus on making market fresh food in 2011.

Just several days ago I attempted to make a ginger house for the Christmas; I found it difficult to re-approach the sense perception I wanted.

In the end I got two kawaii candy houses.

It’s said colors reflect the mood and the personality.

 I hope it’s true and I’d love to be a pleasant person with sweet temper as always! LOL

Hope the little ginger houses make you simle too! :)

A very late “Happy New Year”

I’m unorganized after such a long vacation since November. I was happy spending some time with my family in Taipei even though it was too difficult to say goodbye. Fortunately some gifts arrived and comforted me after I returned to France.

Carol (True2Scale) sent me several lovely Glitter House packs and a BEAUTIFUL basket that she did. I was inspired when seeing the details she made. In the very beginning I did not notice it because Carol left it inside a pill bottle. I always have difficulties to do the action “hold tab down & turn”. My husband opened it after we come back from Paris after Christmas.

Thank you Carol! I will try my own and share with you. For the packs of glitter house with very nice laser cut, I will keep them for this Christmas! :o)

Marie-Laure (Merline Minis) is the expert of ‘broderie’ and ‘point de croix’. We made a promise in Oct and said we would make some minis for each other.

The parcel arrived before 31st Dec. When I opened the box, I could not breathe. The first thing I saw was a little bird who sang ‘Joyeux Noël’ on the box; ‘Oiseau’ and the initial ‘PW’ are nicely embroidered on the apron. Merci, Meri Marie. It is a very special and touching Christmas present.

It was stunning to receiv Maria’s (Il Cucchiaino Magico) email and said I won her beautiful books when I was in Taiwan. I was really excited as if I were a LOTO winner!!

These two books arrived in my place last Thu. They both are nice and elegant; the layout of each page is neat and well organized. I believe Maria enjoys reading as much as making mini books. Because of this gift, I google ‘Sarah Bernhardt’ & ‘Eleonora Duse’ and know better these two famous actress! Thank you so much for the winderful gift, Maria!!

The latest gift is received on Saturday.
Mr. MyFrenchCuisine is like a magician; before lunch, I mentioned I was looking for a van which length was between 26-30cm, he went upstairs and brought a van which was very similar to Citröen HY. My eyes were twinkling (*3*) because it was exactly the dimention I have been looking for. He gave it to me directly and said it belonged to me. He made me a day!

I know it’s a little bit late to deliver my greetings from my blog but I still wish all the friends a happy and prosperous 2011.

My dining room

I tried to build the scene of my dining room after I received this set of furniture last week.

During the time I did not make minis, I looked for some little things and collected some items from Internet.


I prefer modern dollhouse but I love Rococo style elements, like shells, leaves and flora patterms. I know it's very personal taste but do hope my tablecloth goes well with the wall paper.

I also made some sweets and savory food for Christmas; they are now available in my Etsy shop.

I am waiting for the kitchen set and expect to receive it before we go back to Asia. December is the month for family reunion. Hope everybody is happy and sound in this beautiful season! :o) A bientot!
